According to European Commission Decision 2007/589/EC amended by Decision 2009/339/EC, a simplified method to determine their fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions for EU ETS monitoring and reporting purposes can be used.
The small emitters tool is the EUROCONTROL fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) estimation tool that the European Commission has approved via the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 606/2010.
The tool meets the requirements of the guidelines established by Decision 2007/589/EC in respect of the approach based on individual flights, actual route length and statistically sound fuel consumption relationships.

The tool versions hereafter can be used by :
- small emitters* in fulfilment of their monitoring and reporting obligations pursuant to Article 14(3) of the Directive 2003/87/EC (the EU ETS Directive) and Part 4 of Annex XIV to Decision 2007/589/EC (the monitoring and reporting guidance);
- all aircraft operators pursuant to Part 5 of Annex XIV to Decision 2007/589/EC for the purposes of estimating the fuel consumption of particular flights covered by the EU ETS where the data necessary to monitor the emissions of carbon dioxide are missing as a result of circumstances beyond the control of the aircraft operator and which cannot be determined by an alternative method defined in the operator’s monitoring plan.
The small emitters tool is freely available for use without charge.
The tool is based on a methodology designed to estimate the fuel burn for an entire flight (not for specific flight phases) considering the characteristics of the air traffic covered by the EU ETS. It is updated on a regular basis in order to improve when possible its accuracy.
* According to Part 4 of Annex XIV to Decision 2007/589/EC “aircraft operators operating fewer than 243 flights per period for three consecutive four-month periods and aircraft operators operating flights with total annual emissions lower than 10 000 tonnes CO2 per year shall be considered small emitters.”
Two versions of the tool are available:
- version 2012.01.22, to be used for flights operated in 2011

version 2012.01.22, to be used for flights operated in 2011 (superseeding version 2011.11.01) |
|

Notes for version 2012.01.22 :
This version fully incorporates version 2011.11.01 previously available on this page with the addition of statistical fuel burn models for the following aircraft types :
A149, A158, A3, AD4, ARVA, AT6T, B748, B788, C25C, DC2, E55P, F8, F86, NORA, SU24, SU95, V10.
The LJ40 type that was also in the earlier version 2011.11.01 has been updated here following treatment of the actual fuel burn data received in due time.

|
- version 2010.01.01, to be used for flights operated in 2010 |

Please contact Mr. Antonio Astorino:
- for further information concerning the small emitters tool and its use;
- for reporting issues with the use of the small emitter tool;
- should you wish to provide actual fuel burn data to support the further improvement of the small emitters tool accuracy.

The small emitters tool and the ETS Support Facility |
|
Please note that the small emitters tool is not the ETS Support Facility. The ETS Support Facility is a comprehensive integrated solution designed to support:
- aircraft operators;
- verifiers mandated to verify an aircraft operator’s annual emissions or tonne-kilometre report;
- service companies acting on behalf of aircraft operators;
- ETS competent authorities
in meeting their obligations under the EU ETS by making available to them ETS relevant information and data. The small emitters tool is integrated in, and thus part of, the ETS Support Facility for the estimation of flights’ fuel burn.
For any further information, please refer to link to the ETS Support Facility home page
